Matched with Service Dog: Cash
“I didn’t come to Warrior Paws just looking for a service dog—I came searching for a way to stay alive. After 26 years in military and law enforcement service, I was living with PTSD, anxiety, and a medical condition that made daily life unpredictable. I have spent the last 3 years including 4.5 months in a trauma treatment center for first responders, and I still didn’t feel like I had solid ground beneath me.
Warrior Paws changed that. Their team didn’t just ask what I needed help with—they asked who I wanted to become again. They saw potential where I felt broken. And then they got to work.
Cash isn’t just trained—he’s tailored to my life. He helps me stay grounded during panic, applies pressure when my blood pressure drops, picks up items I drop, and blocks crowds when I need space. He helps me walk into school events, conferences, grocery stores—and into my own healing.
This journey is not easy. It’s not a magic fix. But it’s real. It’s hard. And it’s worth it. Warrior Paws gave me more than a dog—they gave me my life back. And for the first time in a long time, I believe I belong here.
I’ll say this to any Veteran or First Responder who’s on the fence: If you’re willing to show up, do the work, and stay honest—this could be the lifeline that changes everything.”
